Clippers' Barnes fined $25,000 for antics

Matt Barnes has been fined $25,000 by the NBA for kicking a water bottle into the stands and swearing, which was directed toward Wizards fans.

The incident took place with 2:09 left in the fourth quarter of the Clippers' road loss in Washington D.C. at the Verizon Center. The Clippers lost to the Wizards, 104-96, which snapped a nine-game win streak by the Clippers.

A fan and Barnes were engaging in trash talk near the end of the game, according to reports from Friday's game.

The NBA described the fine was for "kicking a water bottle into the stands and directing profane language at fans."

Barnes is averaging 8.7 points and 3.2 rebounds per game. He has started 18 of the Clippers' 22 games.

The Clippers play Milwaukee tonight in their final game of a three-game roadtrip. The Clippers return home to play Detroit on Monday.
